More recognition: We hold our members to high standards. You will be part of a growing community of yoga teachers and not asana instructors. Our standards were developed for yoga teachers who have the training/ability to teach various aspects of yoga: Yamas & Niyamas, Asana, Pranayama, Dhyana (meditation) & Yoga Philosophy. Fulfilling our registry requirements is a testament to your ability to teach yoga in its entirely and not just asanas. Many conferences and festivals these days seek teachers who can teach all aspects of yoga.

Flexible registration options: The training-hours required for our credentials can be obtained from multiple training programs and from multiple schools. A School can be a Yoga Studio, University, Community College, Ashram or any other educational institution that offers Yoga Teacher training.
